to consult with student groups to arrive at administrative regulations
acceptable to the student body. All?

Study Group
To Propose
New Plans
By DICK SNYDER
Student Government Council's
structure study committee will
recommend "several immediate
measures and some long-term
pjans" at today's Council meeting
at 7:30 p.m. in the Union.
Chaired by Donna Netzer, '56,
the committee was established to
evaluate the organizational struc-
ture of SGC and to recommend
steps which would make for a
more efficient structure.
Also on the agenda is a motion
by Daly Managing Editor Dave
Baad, '56, proposing that all senior
class elections be held at a time
other than the all-campus SGC
balloting.
Baad Cites Results
According to Baad, the proposal
Would result in a more meaningful
class organization and focus more
significance on class-level partici-
pation.
Up for discussion will be a re-
quest by the Hillel Foundation
that their annual talent revue
show, Hillelzepoppin, be approved
for the same spring weekend as
Junior, Girls' Play.
A motion disapproving the date
requested for the Hillel show was
tabled last week pending an at-
tempt to find suitable location for
the show at some other time in the
spring.
Regents Report To Be Heard
The Council will hear a report
on the Regents acceptance "in
principle" of the recently submit-
ted driving ban modifications.
_ SGC is also scheduled to receive
reports on the West Point foreign
policy conference and the Michi-
gan Region National Students As-
sociation conference held here last
Saturday. Discussions will take;
place on eligibility of 'candidates
for the Council, early registration
passes and a report from the con-
stitutions committee.

period. .
With only 49 seconds of regula-
tion play left, Denver center Jack
Smith grabbed a loose puck in
front of the Wolverine goal and
batted it home to tie the score at
3-3. Only 25 seconds earlier Coach
Neil Celley had pulled his star
goalie Dave Broadbelt from the
goal and rushed six forwards.
Michigan was also underhanded
at the time with defenseman Bob
Schiller sitting in the penalty box
for board checking.
Everything that had happened
in the first 60 minutes, however,
was forgotten during the hectic
overtime period. Cries of "Let's
Go Blue!" from the remaining
majority of a 2,500 weeknight
crowd rocked the Coliseum in the
tense, extra 10-minute climax.
Both teams came close to scoring
but not close enough.
Wolverine scoring was divided
between sophomores Wally Max-
well and Ed Switzer, with the
former getting two tallies.

(left) of Sault Ste. Marie and Eugene B. Power (middle) of Ann
Arbor to Regent meeting. Elected last spring, the two Democrats
take office Jan. 1.
Medical Education Need:
University Study Topic
The Board of Regents yesterday authorized University President
Harlan H. Hatcher to use studies and surveys and to form recommen-
dations on future steps to be taken to meet expected needs of medical
education in the State of Michigan.
President Hatcher told the Regents such a move was necessary
for the University to continue to discharge its duties to the state
concerning medical education.

Power, Adams Present
Present at their first Regents
meeting yesterday were Eugene B.
Power of Ann Arbor and Paul L.
Adams of Sault Ste. Marie, who
will assume their posts as Regents
Jan. 1. Both Democrats, they were
elected last spring.
One of the outgoing Regents
who attended his last meeting,
Regent J. Joseph Herbert of Mani-
stique, concluded 16 years of ser-
vice as a Regent yesterday.
Regent Herbert was presented
with a beautiful silver bowl by
his fellow Regents, and cited by
Prof. Allan Smith on behalf of
the faculty for "distinguished"
service.
Testimonial Read
"His purpose has always been
to decide what, in his own good
judgment, is best for the Univer-
sity. When that becomes clear, his
decision is clear," Prof. Smith read
from a testimonial for the Senate
Advisory Committee of the Fac-
ulty Senate at a Monday night
dinner.
The Regents also authorized, at
their December meeting yesterday,
Vice-President Wilbur K. Pierpont
to enter into an agreement for the
purchase of the Ann Arbor High
School building.
An 1955-56 operating budget of.
$355,150 for the Board in Control
of Intercollegiate Athletics was
also approved by the Regents. Ex-
penditures for the 1954-55 year

Bentley Calls
For Respect
Of Minorities
"The Role of Labor Unions in
Politics" was Rep. Alvin M. Bent-
ley's (R-Mich) topic in an address
before the Young Republicans Club
in the Union last night.
Quoting the President and the
Secretary of Labor, Bentley wel-
comed organized labor's participa-
tion in politics as long as the rights
of minority groups within the
unions are not prevented from
freely expressing views which dif-
fer from union leadership's.
Expressing the belief that the
Republican Party has little to gain
by appealing to labor leaders for
support, Rep. Bentley called for
Republican efforts to gain sup-
port from workers as individuals.
Pointing to the favorable condi-
tions created by the Eisenhower
administration leading to current
national prosperity, he noted the
job of Republicans in the coming
election year is to see that the
present administration gets the
credit for it.
On the possibility of President
Eisenhower being a candidate in
next year's election, the Congress-
man commented no one, even the
president himself, could predict
the answer at this time.

the details will be worked out in
time to be presented to the Regents
at the January meeting, he said.
SGC President Hank Berliner,
'56, saidhe "had every reason to
believe the Regents have endorsed
the plan" to modify the controver-
sial driving ban.
To Ask For Committee
SGC will ask Dean of Men Wal-
ter B. Rea to appoint a commit-
tee with student representation to
work out administrative regula-
tions for presentation at the Janu-
ary Regents' meeting, Berliner
said.
The Regents raised questions
about parking, enforcement of
modified rules, and administration
of the proposed new regulations in
an executive session prior to the
regular December meeting yester-
day, according to Lewis. SGC
raised similar questions last week
before approving the report and
its..recommended changes.
The. report, prepared by a study
committee of students, faculty and
townspeople and chaired by As-
sistant Dean of Men Karl D.
Streiff, calls for permissin to drive
for students more than 21 years
of age.
It also provides strict penalties
for violations-fines up to $50 for
first violations and expulsion for
a semester for second violations.
Need More Time
The Regents deferred considera-
tion of the specific recommenda-
tions until January to allow them-
selves more time for study of the
report and Lewis more time to
work out administrative details.
The Regents highly commended
the study committee for its work
on the problem. They mentioned
appreciation for bringing towns-
peolle onto the committee to study
the driving ban.
Under present Regent by-laws,
only students more than 26 years
of age or those having special per-
mission are allowed to drive. This
rule has been in effect since 1928.
No formal statement of ap-
proval in principle of the changes
was made. Regent Alfred B. Con-
nable of Kalamazoo suggested an
amendment to the original mo-
tion, which called for January ac-
tion, that the Regents officially
indicate approval in principle.
Thought Statement Unnecessary
But Regent Otto E. Eckert of
Lansing, who made the original
motion, thought approval in prin-
ciple was indicated by the Regents'
past interest in the problem, and
that a formal statement was un-
necessary.
Placing the modification of driv-
ing rules as the first order of busi-
ness at the next meeting was also
considered adequate indication of
approval in principle.
Members of the study commit-
tee that prepared the report were
Chief of Police Casper M. Enke-
mann, Councilman Norman Ran-
dall, Rudolph Reichert, Prof. John
Kohl of the engineering college,
Prof. Roger W. Heyns of the psy-
chology department, Eugene Hart-
wig, '59L, Bill Diamond, '56E, and
Bill Hanks, '56 BAd.

India, Russia
Sign Trade
Agreement
NEW DELHI, India ()-Prime
Minister Nehru last night signed
a joint communique with Premier
Nikolai Bulganin and Communist
party chief Nikita Khrushchev of
the Soviet Union urging disarma-
ment as the way to peace and out-
lining a broad program for coop-
eration between their countries.
At the same time, a trade agree-
ment between the two nations was
signed. It provides for purchase
by India of a million tons of steel
from Russia, as well as equipment
for oil production and mining.
Culminates Tour
The communique was the culmi-
nation of a four-week tour of India
and Burma by the Soviet leaders,
who have been widely acclaimed
throughout India where they pre-
sented themselves as "exponents
of peace."
The Russians' leave today for
Kabul, Afghanistan, to continue
their political-economic barnstorm
ing of South Asia.
Generally the communique fol-
lowed their public pronouncements,
calling especially for the prohibi-
tion of n'uclear weapons and the
seating of Communist China in the
United Nations.
No Specific Target
The trade agreement announce-
ment did not give a specific vol-
ume target but said the intention
was to boost trade volume between
the two countries "as much as
possible."
The million tons of steel will be
delivered to India over a three-
year period, starting next year.
Terms and conditions of the sale
will be "settled by subsequent
negotiations," the announcement
said.
In return, it added, the Soviet
Union agreed to increase substan-
tially its purchases from India,
both of raw materials and manu-
factured goods, "with the hope
that- the value of these goods will
equal the value of Indian pur-
chases from Russia.

"Rudolph the Red Nosed Rein-

forth laughs from the audience
and recalled memories for one of
the veterans who said, "Reindeer
remind me of sleighs. Been a long
time since I saw a sleigh. They
don't allow many here."
The half joking, half melan-
cholly mood was shared by many
patients. One summed up his
complaints by saying, "It's not
